5. Get your Improvements permitted and inspected
It is always better to get any additions inspected and have necessary repairs completed before putting your home on the market.
6. Price your home realistically
Do not make the mistake of thinking, “I’ll price it high, because the buyer will make a low offer, and we’ll meet in the middle.”
7. Understand how buyers find the home they purchase
Due to oversupply, there are certain places around the Triangle where you can get an excellent deal.
8. Sell your home quickly
If your home is prepared right, priced right, and marketed right, you should be able to sell your home quickly, in any market, to one of these “ready-to-buy” buyers in less than 30 days.
9. Hide the Pets
In our experience, 70% of buyers will not consider buying your home if they see you have a cat.
10. Make Price Adjustments Quickly Based on Showing Traffic
Insufficient showings means your home is overpriced.
11. Be smart about what offer you accept
It is very difficult for a seller to back out of a North Carolina real estate contract, so think carefully before signing on the dotted line and be smart about what offer you accept.
12. If Buying Also, Go For a Simultaneous Close
With a smart strategy, you might be able to have a simultaneous closing, meaning you sell and buy on the same day.
13. Get an experienced, full-service broker and listen to her
Not all brokers perform equally. Ten percent of brokers are responsible for over 80% of all sales in the Raleigh area.
